32 weeks

I'm 32 weeks today. 8 weeks still seems like kind of a long time... but when I take into account that 8 weeks equals 56 days, it doesn't seem quite so far off!

My doctor's appointment last week was fine. The doctor this time (different doctor) said that if he had to "hazard a guess," he'd say that the baby is now back to head-down position. But, of course, there's still plenty of time for him to turn again.

We had our birth class at the hospital this weekend. Clay was violently ill before we left home. I was really bummed that I was going to have to go by myself... but he sucked it up and came along (and luckily didn't get sick again all day). The class lasted from 9-5;30. I don't think there was really anything covered that I hadn't already read about, but it was definitely good to practice the breathing and relaxation methods. Also, there were numerous DVDs that were helpful to see, and the tour of the labor and delivery part of the hospital was helpful. It's really nice- all private rooms, with cable, DVD players, and WiFi! I'm going to another class tonight, on breastfeeding. It's just a one-night course, so that's good. I will still have one more, about pumping and returning to work, next month.

I'd been sleeping fine lately, but last night was torture. I woke up starving at about 3:30, so I had to go downstairs to eat some crackers and peanut butter. Plus, my neck and back were killing me. I was up for about 2 hours then, and didn't get back to sleep until about 5:30. I'm hoping that I sleep better tonight...
